I like the wood but you've got to be more careful who you talk to on the phone.

That's what I thought.
I am just teasing Pesky. I hope I don't get in trouble with him joking around like this.
I think he came up with a great idea.
I had come up with similar results in the past by accident. But after talking to him I decided to see what I could come up with when I tried for these results on purpose.

So what do you think?
Is El Pescador one of those crazy people?
Or did he have a good idea?
Me.....I'm on the fence. Could go either way.

Typical error of overgeneralization. I have talked numerous times to Pesky on the phone and he clearly is a crazy person, But that doesn't mean he can't have a good idea occasionally

I like them both, the funky one definitely is not for everyone but the dying came out really great. The black one I would buy, that would look really nice. Is that maple burl? Hard to tell with the distracting colors...

Yes, it is Maple Burl.
I found that when there are red/orange areas in the wood, those portions resist the dye.
First time it happened I thought ***. But they were some of the first pieces to sell.
Shows you what I know.
